Whatever...

David, you seem to be a de facto Presbyterian on most of Calvin's beliefs -- eucharist, predestination, and even baptism? Or am I misrepresenting you?

You are not misrepresenting me. I am a Presbyterian attending a reformed-leaning Baptist church.

I get to drink like a Presbyterian and eat like a Baptist! Nirvana!

This years Sunday School will follow Primitive Theology, The Collected Primers of John H. Gerstner, Soli Deo Gloria, 1996. (Hey Josh S, aren’t you a big fan of Gerstner?) The topics are:

Apologetics

Biblical Inerrancy

The Deity of Christ

Predestination

Free Will

Justification

Roman Catholicism

The Atonement

Reconciliation

The Problem of Pleasure

Dispensationalism

The last topic may require equal time be given to the substantive pro-dispensationalist camp within the church.

I’ll be posting the notes, as usual.

I am also going to give a (probably) multipart series on Cosmological Intelligent Design. This will be at the church but will be advertised through the community—an outreach type thing. I’ll post that material as well.

WARNING: possibly offensive joke to follow!

My son told me this. As always, I don't know if it's old; I always suspect that I am among the last to hear a joke. It's a Helen Keller joke, but not in the usual mean-spirited sense. Still, you are forewarned.

I am a scientist. I am a physics professor at a very good public liberal arts university. I am not a theologian. These are my often stream-of-conciousness ramblings. Do not put any trust in them. Sometimes they don't even make sense to me. If something I write interests you, examine it further and draw your own conclusions.
